Beginner's Guide to Blogging
A blog is basically an online journal where you can
digitally
pen down your thoughts, ideas, opinions and practically
anything
that you want people to read. Blogs come in different
styles,
formats, and settings, depending on the preference of the
user.
Many blogging sites offer built in features such as
hyperlink,
straight texts, pictures etc. Some blogging sites even allow
you to put video and mp3's on your blogs.
Instead of writing texts, some bloggers choose to make their
blogs more audio friendly, by using spoken word entries.
This is called audio blogging.
Basically a blog contains these features:
title- which allows you to label your post
body- this is the content of your post
trackback- other sites can be linked back to your blog
permanent link- every article that you write has a URL
comments- this allow readers to post comments on your blog.
One of the advantages of blogging is that it is made of
only a few templates. Unlike, other websites that are made
up of numerous individual pages. This make it easier for
blog
users to create new pages, because it already has a fix
setting
that include: slots for title, body of the post, category,
etc.
This is especially useful for first time users, since they
can
start blogging right away. They can chose from a number of
templates that blogging websites provide.
Anyone who wants to start a blog can do so by becoming a
member
of a blogging website of their choice. Once they've become
members, they automatically become a part of that particular
blogging community. They can browse through other bloggers
pages,
and link them back to their own blogs. They can also make
comments on other members' blogs.
Blogging is not just limited to personal news. There are
a lot of blogs that follow a theme such as: sports,
politics,
philosophy, social commentary, etc. These blogs comment on
their specific themes. This way blogging becomes a medium
in which people can share their knowledge and opinions
about a variety of themes and topics.
Some bloggers even use their blogs as a means to advertise.
Some authors advertise their books on their blogs, while
other bloggers use their blogs to shed light to currents
issues, events, news and catastrophes.
Blogs also play an important part in education.
Professors use blogging to document the lessons
that they have discussed and taught. This way
students who who have missed classes can easily
catch up with their assignments.
A lot of entrepreneurs benefit from blogging by promoting
their businesses on their blogs. With millions of people
logging onto the net everyday, blogging has become
a lucrative move. Some bloggers who run online businesses
promote their merchandise online, while others profit
through advertisements.
But by far, the most popular blog type is the one that takes
the form of a personal journal. This is the kind that is
usually used by first time bloggers. Individuals who want
to document the daily struggle of their everyday lives,
poems, rants, and opinions find that blogging offers
them a medium in which to express themselves.
Bloggers usually communicate within themselves.
This is one of the appeals of blogging. It creates
a community of people sharing their ideas, thoughts,
and comments with each other.
Blogs varying in topics, themes, and set-ups, can be found
in blog directories. First time users who want to get an
idea
of what the blogging world is all about can browse through
a number of blogs using these directories. This way they
can get an idea of what these blogging communities are like.
Blogging is popular all over the world. Blog is short
for the term weblog. There are no rules when it comes
to blogging. Bloggers have the freedom to express
themselves how ever way they want, and the best thing
about blogging, is that most blogging sites are free.
There are numerous blogging websites to choose from.
This give first time users the option of joining a blogging
community that appeals to their interests.
Just search any blogging directory and you'll get a listing
of a lot of blogging sites that are available on the net.
It's easy to search a blogging directory, because it is
organized according to category. This way you would get
exactly what you are after. Blogging is really for everyone.
It is fun, simple and easy.
